Conservator Maia
Douglas is an expert on ancient Greece and its mythology. She would never tell
anyone at the museum where she works, but she's always had a secret crush on
the mythical Eryx, Greek god of love. There is nothing she loves more than to
tend to her favorite statue of him, and her nighttime dreams are filled with
luscious images of Eryx making love to her.

One day, the peace at
Maia's beloved museum is shattered when a new director arrives. A man who looks
exactly like her image of Eryx. As Maia watches, he manages to upset her
ordered museum world, at the same time he inflames her with unwanted desire.

Maia does not know
that her new boss is actually the god Eryx, disguised as a mortal so he may
work in antiquities. Although he is the god of love, he has forsaken his sexual
nature because of a curse that has killed any woman he's dared to love. Though
he fights it, Eryx is drawn to Maia with a force he's never experienced in a
thousand years. But can he convince her of his true identity? And can he
protect her from a vengeful goddess who seeks her destruction?
